I love Jimmy Reed and did a song on my CD as something of a reference/tribute - the Rhino is very good, and Charly has put out 5 volumes of the VeeJay, which can usually be gotten pretty cheap - great stuff, but do not listen to while operating heavy machinery -

Jackie Earle Haley? yikes - I'm seeing dead people already - that kid can't act -

I'm waiting for the reunion concert - "Polly and The Puss Suckers Reunited"

well, there's that whole thing where his band takes a boat trip on the Mississippi with Fate Marable, and the boat breaks down and they get stuck on an island with 2 pretty girls and a skipper and a rich guy and his wife and a professor and a dumb guy - and Bolden sees a plane going overhead but he can't flag it down and than the Harlem Globetrotters show up - I read all this in Don Marquis' book -

best casting - Cher as Jelly Roll Morton - however, I thought John Ashcroft as Lovie Austin was a mistake - though he does have a funky butt -

the amazing thing is how much Bolden turns out to have sounded like Marsalis -

well, I'm not feeling too reputedly well -

geez, I'm not even sure what happened to me - glad, however, to see any interview with Bothwell - would love to see the whole transcript -

conversation with Barry Harris, circa 1977: "Barry, what do you think of Dorothy Donegan?" "Man she's got chops like Tatum, but no taste. Weird broad..."

well, that was before she married Sonny Bono and than, later, Bono - Yoko Ono Nono Bono Bono - of course, for a while she was living up here in Maine, in Orono - so she was Yoko Ono Nono Bono Bono of Orono - drove the post office crazy -

I hear he was married for a short time to Yoko Ono, but she couldn't handle the name-change (Yoko Ono Nono) -

I'd call Joe Bornstein, except I heard he got killed when an ambulance backed up -

well, now you've really gone too far - Jen Lo is my daughter's favorite video dancer and all-purpose Latino - have you no decency, Senator? Well, as Joe Albany told me many years ago, "Oh, Joe was hung, that's for sure." **** ****actual quote, NYC, circa 1976

well, it's not surprising that Hungarians make the best Chefs, as you indicate in that last post. The whole history of that country, including its very name, assure that food and culinary topics will certainly dominate the national dialog -

well, as Berigan would say, stop coddling her - but seriously folks, Uncle Al the Safety Guy will use this opportunity to tell you (though this is a different issue) to always carpet stairways - kids and other people falling on those things get seriously hurt (and even die) all the time -

not sure - I just find his writing on, say, the Condon crew, pre-bop, old stuff, etc, very interesting to read - smart guy - sorta like Stanley Dance in this way - it is just the way the jazz world is; even Dan Morgenstern, one of the great human beings on the planet, brilliant about most jazz, knows and admits that there is mocy plost-1970s music he just does not feel sympathetic to. I do remember calling Stanley Dance, who did a lot of good things, the crzarist of jazz critics - basically, pining for the good old days before the revolution - Larkin was like that, too -

just to put in a good word for Philip Larkin - when he writes about music which he understands and about which he has a clue, he is quite good -

I've gotten money back from paypal on three occassions after filing a dispute -

I guess nobody else saw that one -

I like the one about the donkey in the mountains whose left testicle burst at 12,000 feet, sending all 18 passengers on a 4,000 foot dive - fortunately the pilot was able to gain control with the right testicle, steer the donkey out of its spin, and make a safe lending on its front left nipple -

my mother always told me - "Never accept food from strangers - unless they also offer you a ride."
